A quick note to Cox Tamakloe - thanking him for remembering Komla Dumour

A quick note to Cox Tamakloe - thanking him for remembering Komla Dumour
04.10.2022 LISTEN

Greetings, Cox. It has been quite a while since we last touched base. I do hope that all is well with you, and that you are thriving and content, in this beautiful and welcoming nation, with a wise and aspirational African people - now sadly experiencing idiot-rule by greed-filled big-thieves-in-high-places. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo. But I digress.

Thank you so much for sharing that salad-days photograph of our dear friend and brother, Komla. Not easy, koraaa. oooo. Hmmm, life...

When Komla passed away so suddenly, I was really livid, during the period in which some soul-searching went on, and a stream of questions, to do with the demanded-work-rate expected from him, by his employers, became a topic on current affairs programmes amongst Africa's more responsible media entities.

What saddens me the most, is that our mostly clueless-and-useless media in Ghana, allowed the BBC to get away with this classic case of the consequences of the impacts of systemic-prejudice, which made poor Komla to work a punishing-schedule, which an Eaton and Oxbridge educated white colleague, would never have been subjected to.

With the greatest respect, and in all humility, Komla's kith and kin, really ought to have found a British QC, to fight for a six-figure compensation package for his wife and kids -the minimum bottomline-parameter-metric, in my humble view. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo. Thanks once again for sharing Komla's salad-days-image, on social media platforms, wai - and may he continue resting in the bosom of the Lord God Almighty.

PS. Our man in Guinea Bissau, says they have container loads of top-grade cashew available for sale. Can do? Cool.
